Broken Circuits in Matroids-Dohmen’s Inductive Proof

Similarity:

Dohmen [4] gives a simple inductive proof of Whitney’s famous broken circuits theorem. We generalise his inductive proof to the case of matroids

The Tutte polynomial of a morphism of matroids I. Set-pointed matroids and matroid perspectives

Michel Las Vergnas (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study the basic algebraic properties of a 3-variable Tutte polynomial the author has associated with a morphism of matroids, more precisely with a matroid strong map, or matroid perspective in the present paper, or, equivalently by the Factorization Theorem, with a matroid together with a distinguished subset of elements. Most algebraic properties of the usual 2-variable Tutte polynomial of a matroid generalize to the 3-variable polynomial. Among specific properties we show that the...
